Sneaux Week Free Post
On Monday when we found out we didn't have school the next day, I was honestly a little excited. I got to see my friend I haven't seen in a while and that was fun. I started to work on my assignments and I started with Spanish.. We were assigned to make churros, that was an experience, but really fun! The next day, I went to a friend's house and we just layer around and watched movies (my favorite thing to do). Late that night I started to feel sick and it was hard for me to sleep. After that, it kind of explains my days off.
I was in bed for the next days off, sleeping and getting my assignments done. I was sick, but I still got to do the things I love the most and be lazy. Although there was a lot of whorl to do from home, I liked how it went knowing that I wasn't "missing school", but I was home and still getting everything I needed for school. Even though, it was good catching up on my rest, I'm glad to be back in the routine of things.

150 mins- Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
20 mins- I looked over my thesis detailed outline and began thinking of my final paper.
Informal- I've decided to focus on Gandhi as my research topic because I hear many great things about him. I've found many good sources that are reliable and help me to gather more information to better my research paper and thesis. He took on many responsibilities and led non-violence protests in order to gain India's Independence. I've learned a lot about what Gandhi has done in relation to our world and I would really like to keep learning about him further from my thesis paper research.
Formal- I became interested in the broad topic, Gandhi, from overhearing my Mother, seeing his quotes and insights, and remembrance of him. I began to notice a pattern in his movements towards Independence of India. He encouraged the way of passive resistance protesting, which eliminated violence. His practice led me to further look into his movements through non-violence and how it helped to achieve his goal for the Independence of India. Mahatma Gandhi took on responsibilities that led to freedom of all people, the Independence of India, and was in charge of many civil movements and protesting to reach these results that has made him memorable to the world today.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian: 30 mins
Updating annotated bibliographies: 1 hour and 30 mins
Updating annotated bibliographies: 1 hour and 30 mins
Research Topic: Gandhi
It was a hard decision for what my research project could be on. After doing a lot of thinking under the topic of rights and responsibilities, I decided to do something different. Gandhi has always been popular for making references of how one can change the world. I figured there could be a lot behind him and his work to change the world.
This week, I am focusing on updating my annotated bibliographies. I have received feedback from my history teacher and plan to be changing a few of my articles. I need to practice on how to set up my research paper and add it to the outline of my notecards on Noodletools.

Student Generated Prompt
Chanler - What would happen in a world where it was the child's choice to go to school? Would you go to school?
I feel like many conflict would go about through everyone in the world. It depends that if we decided to go to school after we haven't learned any difference, I would assume no one would want to go to school. But, what conflicts do these cause? The world would not be at all what it is now without education. If I had the choice today, after doing this since a young age with no choice, I would stay in school because I personally really enjoy learning. Everyone will have a different approach on this question and it would be very interesting to compare the results.
If the choice was given to every student in this world, I'm sure more than half would choice to end. Coming from being a student myself, I understand where they would be coming from. We have already learned the basics. I believe that in a world where these choices could made, we would all be divided in half with the educated and non-educated. Who would work? Doing what? What would we learn? How could we live?
